12v socket - wiring in to ignition.....
« on: 31 March 2013, 11:46:51 am »
hi all
i have a couple of 12v sockets ready to put on my bike and i want to wire them up so they only come on when the ignition is on.
one will be at the front (in the inner plastic fairing on the LHS as sat on the bike) and the other will be under the seat.
where can i take the power from to do this ?
any help would be appreciated. :)

Or u could relay it thru a switch lol
Front fairing charger into lights and just wire the underseat one straight to battery. With a switch if u want it but theres no need. My work bike has 12v socket under seat fused and constantly on and no problem.

i could easily wire it straight to the battery, but i want to plug a camera in that automatically turns on when the ignition is on.
plus it will save me having to keep the battery on trickle charge as it's only a toy for me and not used daily (yet!)

Then wire them both into the headlights.
